See Kilkenny’s famous landmarks — and understand the stories behind them.

Explore the city on a relaxed 2-hour walking tour with a qualified guide who was born and raised in Kilkenny. Along the way, discover how local stories connect with the bigger events of Irish history, from medieval merchants and invasions to politics, crime and everyday life.

The tour is designed as an ideal introduction to Kilkenny, helping you get your bearings while discovering places and details you might otherwise walk past. There’s plenty of time for questions, a little dry Irish humour, great photo opportunities and local recommendations for what to see, do, eat and drink afterwards.

• Small groups — maximum 15 • Approx. 4 km / 2 hours • Starts near and finishes at Kilkenny Castle • Walking tour only — all sights are viewed from outside
